SHIVER ME TINDERS

Something’s been glitching with everyone’s shellphones this month…! They suddenly fizzle and go black and when they reboot it appears there’s been some unwanted activity happening on them on your behalf.

A network post has appeared and with it, fake social media profiles have popped up too. You didn’t post to it, the shellphones have automatically done that for you. They’ve posted one picture, your age and three random facts about you. Whether or not those facts are true or not is … sketchy at best.

If you’re curious, go scrolling through the network post and see what it says about others! Comment around and ask them about their facts! And maybe make a new friend?

- Oocly, you will post your character to the network post with a picture, name and age and three random facts.
- The facts don't have to be true and can be entirely made up and be random or wild. Or they can be the realist facts about your character. It's up to you.
- Have your character react icly any way you want!
- Post and tag around!
- This is not necessarily a romance/date finding post, we just thought it was funny. Make friends and cr!

It's a very unique ability to him.

And he only takes one. Thankfully.

[lilsapphire]

Oh my gosh! Does that mean you only have nine toes, then?

Who only takes one!? That’s super weird!

[esquim]

No, I mean he only takes one foot.

If he took both his collection would become truly unmanageable.

video; un: musicien

[musicien]

[Excusez-moi. Just passing through.]

It's already happened once before. He couldn't decide which foot was better and ended up taking both.

[esquim]

I wonder if there actually is any true difference. Is a left food more powerful for some Nevrons?

[musicien]

Honestly, I think it was a matter of size sometimes. Or how he ripped it off.

[esquim]

That would make some degree of sense logically. At least the size theory. I suppose how it's ripped off could have something to do with how well preserved the power is. [ there's absolutely no sense in any of this Lune... ]

[musicien]

[Or like a dog comparing sticks. Or toys.]

Like I said has said when he showed off back at the Station, I've never understood how it works.

[But as long as his friend is happy.]

[esquim]

[ The most logical answer that would also be the most disappointing... ]

I wish I'd asked him more about it all.

squints at my own typos

[musicien]

[Owowow.]

I'm sure he'll tell you all about his adventures. Or our adventures, depending on which one he decides.

[esquim]

[ The longest stretch of silence ever and when she does say something again there might be a tiny edge in her voice. This isn't lying, it's just going along with a sentiment because it's easier! ]

Maybe he will someday. There must be an endless supply of them.

[musicien]

[Verso quirks a brow, the pause speaking volumes despite the silence.]

Nearly a century's worth.

[Talking about the gestral, Verso feels a dull ache in his chest. While there had been long stretches of time when he and his friend hadn't spoken to one another, that didn't mean he didn't miss him.]

It's possible that he shows up here. Or maybe Maelle and Sciel.

[esquim]

[ Her head drops for a moment and then she nods as though everything were fine and dandy. ]

Mm, maybe. They would be better off here. [ At least from what she's seen so far.]

[musicien]

Warmed up to this place already?

[esquim]

No, but... [ her mouth opens and she almost says what's right there on the tip of her tongue. But for some reason it gets stuck there, perhaps just because she's not sure if she could stop if she started talking about why she'd want them here. Or maybe it's just selfish: she doesn't want to think about it completely. ]

Would you not want them here? You've seen more of the place. Is it worse than where we came from?

[lilsapphire]

[ so sorry she is SO nosey and this is actually an open forum, soooo... ]

Hang on, do you two already know each other? Did you travel together?

[musicien]

[Her question gives him pause. Verso has spent the better half of a year on his own in this world. He was used to being on his own for months, sometimes even years on end. But he couldn't deny that he didn't appreciate Maelle's company when she was around, even if it wasn't for very long.

And now with Lune around... There's no denying that there's been a shift in their dynamic. He felt it when they first met in the desert. But despite that and everything else that might've happened, he had grown attached to the people of Expedition 33, spending the most time with them and achieving more with them than with any other.

Even if some of it was for naught.

Eventually he shakes his head in response, one arm crossed over his chest as he holds up the shellphone with his other hand.]

It's isn't that. And I wouldn't say it's worse. It's safe enough for everyday life, with some danger still lurking nearby. They'd be able to handle themselves fine.

[lilsapphire]

So you only have one foot now!?

Aaaaa I'm so sorry! That makes so much more sense why you don't wear shoes! Because they always come in pairs and it wouldn't make sense to buy them and only wear one! That would be a waste of the other shoe!

[esquim]

[ A tiny part of her has now died. ]

No, no. Both my feet are perfectly fine.

I'm certain if I was missing a foot I could purchase single shoes. Or I could be fitted with a prosthetic and still purchase pairs of shoes.

[lilsapphire]

So you do have both of them? Oh! I'm so happy for you!

I was going to offer to paint half of your toes, but since you have all of them... well, I guess I could still offer, actually.

[esquim]

Yes, I do. No need to be concerned.

That's...a kind offer.

[lilsapphire]

If we ever meet in person, we should totally do it! I think it would be a lot of fun! I'd be super careful.

[esquim]

Is painting toenails something that requires one to be careful?

[lilsapphire]

Well, yeah, of course! If you don't have steady hands the paint could get all over the place!

I'm super precise though because I paint all the time!

[esquim]

I don't think I'd really mind if it did get all over the place.

Is painting your hobby then?
